Overview

Waken to the world of dreams. Dreams and Prayers is the overflow of a poet's strange and wonderful dreams, most cherished memories, fertile waking imagination, and heartfelt prayers-more than seventy poems in all, most but not all blank verse. Each of the book's three sections focuses its attention in a different direction: Metaphors draws images from nature, literature, history, and more. Darkness falls, except the moon; A silver fog hangs above the ground. Memory and Dreams records unforgettable moments, happy years, and strange and wonderful dreams-those that left the dreamer hating to wake up. Fair friend, have I not wed you in my dreams? Draw near to me, as my lids droop towards sleep, And kiss me as I join you in my dream. Higher Things turns thoughts above, both in prayers addressed to God, meditation on Scripture, and religious reflection. The book closes with a series of poems based on the ""O Antiphons"". The wilting fields and thirsty forests prayed, And God heard and relented; rain has come, And filled the earth awhile again with green. Each poem is paired with a public-domain drawing, woodcut, or illustration. Take up and read, and explore the images and memories, dreams and prayers.
